Davies: No more job cuts

Stuart Davies, Unite’s officer for RBS, comments on the bank’s profit:

“The news today that Royal Bank of Scotland has returned to profitability is a testament to the hard work and commitment of the staff across the bank, those in the call centres, processing centres and bank branches who have remained committed to the company.

“Their dedication is in direct contrast with the reckless actions of a few that took RBS to the brink of disaster.

“In light of these positive half year profits Unite is calling on RBS to halt the relentless job loss announcements, since the taxpayer stepped in to support the company some 18,000 jobs have been lost. RBS must now provide stability to their workforce who are working so tirelessly to restore the bank to success.”
